Thanks for you answer. I post to the endpoint "/2/files/search_v2". With just {"query":"tag1"} on body.
I want to retrieve content that contains the tag1. Is this possible?...
In such a way you will receive all entries metadata matching to the query. Matching are all entries (files and folders) containing in their names, tags, or content the query value - tag1. If you want to receive content of particular entry, you need to read it accordingly! Tags themself don't have any content, they're... just tags! Clarify to yourself what content you're looking for.
@amilcarvalho Thanks for the report. If you have a file with a tag "tag1" in the connected account, that /2/files/search_v2 call should return that file, so it sounds like something may not be working properly. We'll look into it.
@amilcarvalho Are you still seeing the issue with the file not being returned in the /2/files/search_v2 results when searching by tag? If so, please share the affected account ID and file ID so we can look into more specifically. Feel free to open an API ticket here to share privately. Thanks!
